Am I right?
« on: June 11, 2020, 10:58:04 AM »
LiAlH4 -> with the carbonyl carbon (ketone reduction)
alcohol -> beta addition to the double bond so OR will attach itself (antimarkovnikov)
third one -> SH nucleophile will attack the double bond

true?

What conditions do you have for the second reaction, acid, base?
The first and the third reaction seems OK.

That's the thing it's not written but I guess it has to be acidic for the reaction to occur?

Under acidic condition you can get the dimethyl ketal from the ketone as well as MeOH-addition to the alpha-position, this reaction can be reversible. Under basic conditions you will get addition to the beta position, this will also be reversible.
